let's celebrate

Did I ever tell you about that time I sent cupcakes in the mail to Heidi for her birthday?

yeah. Don't ever do that.

Or at least, don't do it the way I did it.

But I digress...

It's Heidi Swapp's Milestone birthday this weekend and the Heidi Swapp Media Team is here to celebrate.

Be sure to follow @kimjeffress and @lindsaydawnebateman on Instagram to catch how they are saying happy birthday to the most talented and inspiring human in the world.

Am I wrong?

I mean...how do you make a card for the mother of all card makers?

I did attempt to make one. And it should already be at her house. I took the new Sun Chaser and created a one paper wonder card. It basically became an oversized envelope to hold some stamped sentiments and tags and banners and hearts, as well as a larger tag.

You can see here how I trimmed down the sides to fold over and then to fold in for flaps. The top part of the paper covers up the whole 'card' creating a sort of envelope if you will.

I should probably tutorial this, shouldn't I? Let me know your vote in the comments below.

The main sentiment tag was done up with a lot of Heidi Swapp Shop stamps. Is it weird to send Heidi sentiments in her own handwriting? Don't answer that.

Then I tucked the cutey little tag back into the 'one paper wonder'. And here's a little tip...that ENJOY THE NOW mini tag that appears to be sewn on...yeah...it's not. I sewed on the stitches then adhered it to the card front. Just seemed easier that way but still gave the tag the look of the stitched.

And ... yay ... !!! Happy Birthday to Heidi. Oh what fun. And what a great way to close out Card and Letter Writing Month. To say happy birthday to one of the most amazing hand letter-ers and card makers I know. What an honor to know her. To collab with her. To just be under the influence of her inspiration and abilities. May we all bless others the way she has blessed us.

All stamps used in this project can be found HERE.
